Reliable Storage: Solution
I gave in and ordered the ReadyNAS this morning.
I realized that the deal I mentioned last time was about as good as it was going to get ($1 per usable GB), and if and when I add another 500G drive, the cost per GB drops to about $.80.
I also learned it runs linux (no surprise there) and there's a cross compiler toolchain available - so once I get it up and running, I'm going to see about hosting my music media server directly on the NAS.
It's first job is going to be to hold complete backups of every machine in the house prior to the move, and I'll hand carry it to the new place.
